I live in Missouri, home of jacka$$ Rep Todd Akin. He is running against Claire McCaskill for U.S. Senate and has said all kinds of stupid stuff about her to the press, too. He actually mentioned that she wasn't very "ladylike" in a recent debate ... wtf? How embarrassing for Missouri!

It's really disturbing all of the strange over-the-top comments about abortion in this year's race. Right now, the Senate candidates from my state are in the news due to the Mourdock making a ridiculous statement about rape and pregnancy.

I wonder if it will cost him the election. I don't know. The other guy isn't a much better option when it comes to women's issues, so I don't know that'll make much difference for me in that regard. I still haven't decided if I'll even vote for a person in that particular race.

Heather, I had actually thought about doing that. I'm still torn b/c while the Democrat candidate is against women's issues and marriage equality, he has voted positively in areas of education and healthcare - which are also two areas that are of big concern to me. So, I'm really torn on him.
